As cool (re: random OP crap pulled from a hat) as a covops Logistics Cruiser sounds, I can't fathom why Caldari get shafted like this. The whole reason it's been pitched this way is that all the other recent AT faction cruisers use one of the abilities from that race's recon/EWAR pool and Caldari's only EWAR is ECM. Given what we've read, it seems it would be BEYOND TERRIBLE for a Moa to have the bonus to ECM target jammer strength like the Rook.
AT VII
- Mimir - Minmatar Faction HAC
- Freki - Minmatar Faction AF
AT VIII
- Adrestia - Gallente Faction HAC
- Utu - Gallente Faction AF
AT IX
- Vangel - Amarr Faction HAC
- Malice - Amarr Faction AF
Now, for AT X
- Etana - Caldari Faction Logistics Cruiser
- Cambion - Caldari Faction AF
One of these is not like the other. Now's not the time to start injecting inconsistencies into the line-up. The "Etana" was supposed to be a Moa hull, Caldari Faction HAC. You got the Cambion right, so please reconsider the Etana's hull and bonus plans. I know you're itching to prove that you really did commit tiericide but get real. For such a pretty name, it doesn't need to be something that gets put away forever because it's too useful to risk losing.
As currently envisioned it also represents a fully unique ship/ability combination which is not something limited edition ships have ever been before. They have always been enhanced versions of the role the parent ship filled. If the devs really believe we need a hull that can do logistics for black ops gangs, the playerbase has been asking for a Tech 2 variant of the tier-2 battlecruisers for some time.
So CCP, how about this instead for the Etana?
